Where Have You Been ?!
Where Have You Been ?!

Where have you been ?!
to check how far we've been—
was it not getting back from
Asaya camp and Okitipo estate
I stood a pen on a jotter and gift !
searching to start something else
shorter than a colourful page’s story
complicated than a thriller novel
and long enough for the whole world
to feel from their end like a
Veuve du vernay— tensed
but very moderate.

It was your chocolated teeth
I wanted to photograph with words
and it led me to start poetry.
